Project Purpose and Description

The EASE project aims to enhance the reliability, safety, and efficiency of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure by addressing critical power grid disturbances such as neutral faults, overvoltage, and phase loss. It combines two patented devices, the Neutral Fault Protection Relay (NFPR) and the Phase Compensation Module (PCM), to ensure uninterrupted power supply and protect EV chargers from damage. Through pilot demonstrations in Thessaloniki, Greece, and Tel Aviv, Israel, EASE will validate the effectiveness of these solutions in real-world conditions. The project contributes to sustainable urban mobility by improving charging infrastructure performance, reducing maintenance costs, and fostering user confidence in EV adoption.

Motivation

As the European Union accelerates its transition to a low-carbon economy, electrification of transport plays a pivotal role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the rapid growth of EVs poses significant challenges to existing charging infrastructure, including power grid instability and equipment failures. EASE addresses these issues by delivering innovative, scalable solutions that enhance the stability and resilience of EV charging systems. By ensuring reliable and continuous charging, the project supports the widespread adoption of EVs, aligning with global sustainability goals and urban mobility strategies.
